Miami County Sheriff, Bailiff or Private Server?
By default the clerk mails summonses, certified. If the plaintiff requests personal or residence service in writing, a sheriff, a municipal-court bailiff or a court-designated server does the delivery.
Who May Serve Papers in Miami County: Clerk Mail, Sheriff, Bailiff or Court-Designated Server
Civ.R. 4.1 splits the clerk's own mail from the three ways of making hand delivery. The sheriff of the county where the party lives or is found, a municipal bailiff and a court-designated person each have a role. A designated person has to be familiar with service procedure and must behave professionally, among other things.
